Why is glass considered a super cooled liquid?
Amorphous solids( Greek term amorphous-no form)- has atoms, molecules or ions arranged at random & lacks the ordered crystalline lattice. For eg glass, plastics. In their disordered structure,amorphous solids resemble liquids.Being a amorphous solid, glass has atoms arranged in random order with weak intermolecular forces, when ever heat is applied in gradual pattern the glass behave as a super cooled liquid or highly viscous liquids. The liquid nature of glass is sometimes apparent in very old window panes that have become slightly thicker at the bottom due to gradual downward flow.
